The bottom line is simple. They lied on the tax form. They claimed zero income, but they actually made considerably more than zero. That is indeed a crime.

The government is picking on them because of their views, especially the wife.She is refusing to sign a form because is saying it's not true, they are trying to force her, she is standing strong and the government hates it.

If she signs the form she's guilty of perjury, because she claimed zero income, which is a lie. The law requires that the form be signed. The law requires that if you are self-employed and make more than $400 you must file a return. She is in the process of breaking the law. How complicated is that?

I'm aware that the IRS has pulled some pretty shady stuff, and continues to do so. This may be one of those cases. It doesn't necessarily look like it though. Protesting a law is fine. Doing so by breaking it is not.

So get it changed. I believe the Federal Income Tax to be an unjust law, but it's there and the only way to fix it is to get it repealed.

Everything aside, they are focusing on his wife not being reasonable because they want her in prison, to make a point, to show their power.This is tyranny, plain and simple.

That's possibly true. It's doubtful that it's the whole IRS doing it, simply because there would have to be a stated policy showing up somewhere, and sooner or later an IRS employee would expose it. More likely is that it's a self-important IRS official trying to prove something. More likely still is that these people are breaking the law, and the law must be enforced or else it's, as you say, no law at all.
